Preface Discussion Papers | OGC

i. Preface

This document was developed as part of the Image Handling Thread of the OGC Web Services Initiative Phase 1 Thread Set 2 OWS 1.2. This document specified the requirements for the image handling functions to be supported by draft specifications prepared under that thread. Not all of the requirements stated herein were supported by the draft specifications prepared. These draft specifications were largely, but not completely, implemented and tested in that testbed. This is now an OGC Discussion Paper made publicly available for review by OGC members and other interested parties. Comments and suggestions on this Discussion Paper are welcome and encouraged. Such comments and suggestions may be submitted by email message. This document specifies the requirements for both the image archive and catalog services, although those services will be specified largely separately, because the requirements have many overlaps. This document also specifies the requirements for the image metadata to be used in the OWS 1.2 testbed. Finally, Annex C informative specifies tentative requirements for an expected future image distribution service. NOTE This document currently uses the terms archive and archiving service; one alternative synonymous term is repository service. This document also uses the terms catalog and cataloging service; one alternative synonymous term is registry service. ii.
